But Starship Troopers was written in 1959, hardly the end of Heinlein’s career. He did have a lot of out there ideas, but thats sort the point of science fiction. Because how Heinlein wrote troopers, plenty of people think he was some sort of fascist. But I think he was a good deal more complex. Reading his stranger…

Repeatedly I’ve been told Starship Troopers is this great satirical movie, but I just can’t see it. The movie doesn’t have “seemingly intentionally bad performances” It HAS bad performances. No amount of debate will ever convince me that Casper Van Dien or Denise Richards are capable of anything other than bad acting.

I have a massive head wound and I love this show! By the way I also need to be feed through a tube and a tiny Filipino woman has to change my diaper twice a day.

I wish Emmerich (well to be honest, someone better than him) would just do “Forge of God”. It would make for the ultimate disaster porn film.

I’m a grown man holding a plastic broom between my legs. Something has gone very wrong with my life.

IT Network Administrator - Jeez, where to begin? Everything you see on TV about computer hacking is basically BS. No, I don’t know every single thing about your random computer program. Stop using Windows XP. Stop asking me which computer is the best one to buy. Don’t ask me to fix your $60 ink jet printer from…

I’m totally shilling for the short film Wanderers here.

Maybe some of those fast gamma ray bursts are actually extraterrestrial wrap bubbles collapsing. Maybe other races don’t use radio waves and uses neutrinos instead.

The show started off good, a nice change of pace from the normal vampire movie. But towards the end of the first season, between some really stupid character decisions (Eph sleeping with coworker and the declaring his love for his ex-wife like 10 seconds later) and a story line that made less sense by the second…

The Long Earth series. Its got everything. An infinite series of parallel Earths, An AI that thinks its a Buddhist Monk, inter-dimensional travel powered by potatoes.

WRONG!

Nope, no disagreement from me. Season 1 was great, and it was obvious they had no idea where to take it.

1st Season, not bad. Not exactly knocking my socks off, but I enjoyed it. Then the 2nd season. Oh dear God...Its sooo bad. Like hit in the head till you’re stupid bad. And its getting renewed for another season....

Hmm, I’ll check it out. But I have to be careful with Lincoln Child, some of his stuff is great, some...not so much. The Ice Limit was...bad...like nails on a chalk board bad.

Its always been an idea of mine that one day we’re going to discover what we thought was a natural phenomena in space was actually signs of alien civilizations. Who’s to say that some of those supernova aren’t actually an alien civilization’s equivalent of a Chernobyl? (again I kid, sort of...)

Its negative energy derived from the quantum foam in a vacuum. Basically creates a small debit of energy in the fabric of the universe. More or less the reason the universe has accelerated in expansion starting 2 billion years ago when the first sentient races figure out to build these devices to propel their…

There are some truly amazing things in this universe, but this one by far is the best to me. Between the picture and Carl Sagan’s immortal words, I have never not been moved by this image.

I’m not sure it would be entirely about Nate and the building or not. Just that the larger universe Peter developed seems like it cried out for more story. Possibly about the other universe or maybe other places around the world that keep the squid/whale things at bay.

I found the story to be surprisingly gripping and some unexpected twists and turns. Felt like there was defiantly more that could be written for strange little apartment building.
